Blowin fuses - MFSuper90 - 12-03-2012
So everytime I hit my kickdown switch the fuse for my horn blows?? Its really annoying and I'm not sure where to even start looking.
Any advice is greatly appreciated,

I would start by not flooring it.
The right way to fix it is clean up all your ground connections. The wrong way to fix it is to unplug your kickdown switch.

Everytime I put it in reverse, my tach stops working (and reverse lights go)..... Waaaaaa! Need to track down the short on mine too!

Probably 15% of the time when I roll down the driver's window it momentarily shuts the radio off

Grounds, grounds, grounds. Check yo mofo grounds.

Also my wiper blades work sometimes, and when they don't I can hear a wining noise in my dash? I love this car to death, but the little things that are alway wrong with it get under my skin

the motor for the wipers is in front of the firewall. Under the panel that's between those vented spots in front of the windshield.
idk how you can get in there without destroying the body and stuff.
maybe the motor is crapping out. Maybe the motor is turning but the blade mechanics are somehow not connected. Like a loose set screw.

Thats what i was thinking too. Hopefully i get some free time in our shop to check out some of these annoying issues

So the seatbelt/driver door buzzer started crapping out on me too, so now the dome light doesn't come on when I open the door

All right, I'm going to call your Mothers and have them slap you around until you go outside and:
-Replace your fuses with copper/brass ones and clean the contacts
-Clean your ground connections up behind the dash, under the hood, in the trunk, (and others I forget)
Seriously. I suffered from weird crap until I got the one in the trunk refreshed, then it all went away.

Which one in the trunk? I some wires disconnected in the trunk lid, but when I connect them bad things happen

Trunk lid is for your trunk light, the grounds are under the plastic liners (I think the driver's side)
